Early in the evening, Aaron David Martin argued with his girlfriend, who accused him of hitting and choking her.

Around 10:30 p.m., three deputies went to his home but Martin, 41, refused to let them in. Deputies broke in the front door at around 1 a.m.

Authorities said that Martin retreated to a back room and refused to let the woman's son leave. Attempts to subdue him with pepper spray and a stun gun failed. Martin charged at deputies while holding a heavy, wooden nightstand over his head. Sgt. Jay Galassi fired four rounds from his rifle, wounding him twice in the lower torso and once in the leg.
